To all whom it may concern:

ills it'known that I, WERNER JOHNSON, a cltlzeno fthe United States, residing at Lynn, county "of Essex, State of Massachusetts,

have "mvented certain new and useful Imrovements in Combined Emer ency and l'hrottle Valves, of which the fo owing is a specification.

. The present invention has for its object to improvethe construction of combined emergency and throttle valves, and more espechilly by providin a means whereby the same'hand-wheel w ich opens and closes the vailve under normal conditions is utilized to reset or restore the motor which closes the valve under emergency conditions, and also to reset the emergency tripping mechanism.

In the. accompanying drawings'which illustrate one of the embodiments of m Y invention,,Figure 1 is a partial view in si e elevation of a vertical shaft turbine equipped with my improved valve; Fig. 2 is a partial horizontal section showing the emergency gov ernor for trip ing the valve Fig. 3 is a view in side elevation of the tripping mechanism of the valve; 4 is an inverted plan view of the same wit the hand wheel removed;

5 is a longitudinal section of tee valve;-

is an enlarged sectional view showing a part of the tripping mechanism; Fig. 7 is a view taken on line 77 of detail sections Figfifi; Fig. 8 is a sectional view taken just -above the lock which holds the valve in its olpcnposition; Fig. 9 is a detail view showingi 86 i t e position of the weight and the associate parts when the valve is open; Fig. 10 shows the relation of parts when the valve is closed; Fig. 11 shows the parts at an intermediate at e of theresetting operation; and Fig; 12 :0 shows the'weigjht just before it leaves the head owin to t e differential arrangement of the three. ed stem and nut and the levers.

The invention is shown in connection with acombin ed emergency throttle valve which :5 is unbalanced when open and'therelore has a tendency to close when released; Owing to the size ofthe main valve and to the hea pressure to which'it is subjected when-close apilotvalve is provided which opens n precadence to the main valve and closes before it. When steam is flowing through the valve easing the main and pilot valves are locked in their respective 0 en positions. In order to insure a quick an certain closing of the valve under the Y mg l gfiinder to leakage.

under emergency conditions as a weight 18 rovided which releases the loc and'then starts the ilo't and the main valve into motion; after w "ch theunbalanced pressuresto which. the valves'are subjected cause them to close, the weight,

a motor, such. in falling first however, being effective as a closing agent from the moment it first strikes an abutment on the valve stem with a hammer blow until both valves are. seated.

Referring to Fig. 5 ,'the constrnction'of the valve will "be described. 1 indicates the valve casing which is provided witha removable upper head 2 and a removable lower valve is a partition 4 that is bored centrally te p0 sort the seat 5. This partition d1- V'l compartments '6 and 7, the former receiving steamfrom "the boiler and the latter communicating by means of the conduits 8, Fig. 1',

head 3, Extending across'the interior of the es the valve easing into two chambers or with the valve chests admittinisteam to the.

turbine or other a paratus to 0 controlled.

. 9 indicates the va ve which is provided with portion 10 that is a removable wearing The vavc 9 base.

screw-threaded thereto. tubular portion and extending is a stem 11, the upper end 0 which is provided with an enlarged head which is seated in the pilot valve 12. The pilot valve is rovided on its upper side with a shoulderw ch engages with and is guided by the ring 13, {)he latter being secured to-the main valve by 0 ts. thereto is an annular'guide 17 which enga es a downwardly extending projection 18 on t e upper head to guide the valve. fiituated ilot valve is a seat 1 1. From this it will l ie evident that the main valve is capable of being moved by the pilot valve and its stem. Steam is admitted to the pilot valve and to the chamber within the valve 'by one or more passages 15. When the parts occupy the sition shown, steam is admitted to the interior of the valve and to the under side of the piston 16 connected therewith, by the tubular portion or piston 9, and such bethe case the valve is largely balanced.

therethrough Formed on the ring 13 or attached gral with the lower head 3. A suitable packis provided between the piston and the end of the cylinder is a small-orifice 20 At the lower through which water due to condensation can pass from the interior of the cylinderto the chamber 7. I

Surrounding the valve stem and rotecting it is a sleeve 21 which snuglyfits the stem at its upper and lower ends. The upper end passes through a guide 22 formed in the piston 9. The lower end passes throu h a packing 23 and a gland 24 to prevent eake. he sleeve is held in ]place on the spinrial. This prevents sticking of the parts.

The main valve is so constructed and arranged that it is balanced when open except for the stem which is subjected to the full pressure of the-steam at one end and to atmospheric pressure at the other. By changing the diameter of the sleeve 21 this difference in pressure can be increased or decreased to suit the requirements.

Formed integral with the lower head 3 is a frame 30 whic is substantially rect lar in outline. The lower end is rovided with a boss 31 which is bored centr y to receive the valve stem. Surrounding the stem at this point is a sleeve 32 having a spline 33 mounted thereon and entering a slot in the boss 31 to prevent the same from turning. The lower end of thesleeve is screw-threaded'internally to receive the nut 34 the latter being screw-threaded externally to receive the threads on the sleeve and internally to enage the threads on the valve. spindle 11. ifter this not is adjusted to its properposition with respect to the sleeve 32 they are held against relative movement by the pin 35 which extends perpendicular thereto. On the upper end 0 the sleeve 32 is a head or abutment 36 which receives the blow imparted by the wei ht or other motor 37 when the latter is re eased and permitted to fall. The motor referably acts by impact since it will start t e valve into motion with certainty. The motor is located outside of the steam s see so as not to be affected by the action 0 the steam.

On the lower end of the sleeve 32 are two arms 38 formin a; fork to receive the ivot 39 for the valve ocking lever 40. This ever comprises three principal portions. The first ortlon carries't e pin 41, the second carries a block 42 which forms a part of the lock for holding the main valve open, and the third portion comprises a weight 43 which tends at all times to keep the parts in position as shown in Fig. 5. That is to say to lock the valve arts 1n 0 erative position. In order that t ere shall e no tendency for the parts of the lever to move out of their normal plane of operation and therefore bind the portion of the lever carrym he in 41 a part is made 1; 1n the form of a for? as est shown in Figs. 3

and The weight 43 is also made in two portions for the same reason and also to acihtate assembling.

The lower end of the frame boss 31 is provided with a shoulder to receive the hardened wearing block 44, the latter engaging with the block 42 on the locking lever.

On the lower end of the valve stem is a hand wheel 45 by means of which the valve can be opened and closed or adjusted to any given position to insure any desired degree of throttling. The dotted lines show the position of the hand wheel when the valve is closed.

The weight 37 is normally sustained in the positlon shown by means of two levers 46 which are supported by a pivot 47 located in the bosses 48 on the frame 30 as best shown in Fig. 4. These levers are united to-the weight 37 by pivots 49. The arts of the lever 46 are united by a forked-link 50 which is slotted at its lower end to receive the pin 41 on the locking lever. Between the pin and the ufpper end of the slot is a certain amount 0 space, the object of which is to form a lost motion connection between the weight and the valve lock so that when the weight falls it will act with a hammer blow first on the lock and then on the head 36 and the valves connected therewith. It will be observed that the distance between the in 41 and the up er end of the slot in the lin is less than the distance between the upper side of the head 36 and the under surface of the weight 37, the object of which is to insure the successive o eration of the lock and the movement 0 the valve stem. In order to hold'the weight in the suspended position, one of the levers 46 is extended as at 55 to the left of its pivot. Mounted in the end thereof is a ivoted block 56 which engages a shoulder ormed in the lower end of the trippin lever 57. The object in using a pivote block is to facilitate resetting. In resetting the block will tilt back to allow the lever 55 to resume its normal position. The lever 57 is carried by a bracket which is bolted to the frame 30 of the valve. On the u per end of the tri ping lever 57 is a pin 58,

lgs. 5 and 7, whic in normally stands in the position shown, t at is, in the verticall extending slot 59 in the member 60 whici --the weight to fall.

dium of the weight, a lever 64 is provided which is mounted on the spindle 65, the latter also carrying the lever 57. On the left hand end of the lever is a pin 66 which is adapted to engage the member 60 containing the slots 59 and 61 and raise the same by an amount sufficient to let thepin 58 enter the slot 61 when the motor or spring 63 will pull the shoulder on the. lower end of lever 57 out of the path of the block 56 and permit From the right hand end of the lever 64 depends a rod 67 by means of whieh the station attendant can actuate the releasing'mechanism byhand.

The means for resetting the levers willnow be described. Mounted on the manually actuated lever 64, is a projection 68 which,

when it is moved'to the left about its axis,

is adapted; to engage with a projections69 on the lever 57 and move the same to the position shown in Fig. 5 where the shoulder on the lever 57 is in a position to receive the block .56. The pin 58 enters the locking slot 59 in the member-60 after'it and its connected red are moved to their normalposh,

tions. This lever is normally he'ldin the position shownby a ddtent 70 which enters a notch in the depending rod 67.'

.valve as ap it and to t 0 means employed for releasing the weight when the speed; of the turbine becomes abnermally high or when for any reason it is desired to' suddenly close the valve.

I 1 Ji'epresents the casing-of the turbine whio is suitably finished" to receive the bracket 76' formed on casi oi the valve. g

77' indicates the vertical shaft of the turbine-"and mounted thereon is a collar "78 -or attached to the made up of two parts which are hinged togather and secured by the clamping bolt 79. Carried by the collar and located at diametrically o posite points are springs 80'coiled after the fashion of a clock spring with free ends, which ends upon a prhdetermined increase of speed, increase their orbit adjacent to the emergency governor.

- trip ing lever is normally-held with the end ilnsl e of the guard by the tension spring 87. he

ortion 85 is purposely made of considerabl length so that when the emergency overnor springs actuate the tripping 'ever 81 it will e age the right hand and of the lever and he] the opposite end-out of The descripltionwillnow be aime to the ed to a turbine forcontrollingi hand wheel 45 for normal operation the same as other valves.

The automatic operation of the valve and its tripping mechanism is as follows: Assuming the valve to be open and that the speed increases abnormally, say 10% above thenormal, the springs will strike the trippigs lever 81 and by moving it releases the 86 and the spring 63, Fig. 5, will pull the u per end of the lever 57 to the right, thereli;

releasing the weight sup orting levers 55 and 4 6. As the weight 37 re s, its first action is to move the pm 41 by a er blowand release the lock 42-44; subsequentl 'it' strikes the head 36 with a hammer low which seats the paptialso starts t main valve into 0 railot valve 12.- The im-- tion. As scenes the pilot valve is 0 used 7 the semi-'balancedrelation of the parts is furtherugset, steam ressureis'cut off from the cylin er space be ow the iston 16, and the steam' ressure closes t e valve and holds it firmy against its seat. See Fig. 10.

In order that some idea may be had. of

the size of the valve and the pressures to which such valves are subjected, the present valve has a fourteen inch opening and when t e at'200 pounds boiler pressure approximately 4$,Q00 pounds pressure tending to hold it against lts seat.

Assuming now that it isdesired to reset the emergency mechanism and openthe pilot and main valves are closed there is valve: The speed-governor springs return of themselves to the normal position when the s eed of the engine is reduced to normal.

he rod 86 is latched back as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. The hand wheel 45 is then rotated to the right and, owing to the fact that' the s indle is free to turn at the upper end and a so to the fact that the steam pressure 'on the main and ilot valves isheavy and holds the stern aga' st the longitudinal movement;

the nut 34 ther'eon moves up the spindle or stem car ing with it the locking lever, the head or a utment 36 and the weight 37 ,Fig. 11. Just as soon as the pin 41 reaches the up er end of the slot in the bottom end of the lin 50, Fig. 12, a different action takes place the work of ,lifting the weight being trans erred to the pin 41,link 50 and levers 46. Since the connecting ins ,71 of the links are between the axis 0 the levers and the points of connection with the weight, it follows'that for a given vertical movement of the pins and nut the weight will have a reater movement, hence from-this point the latter will move more rapidly than the head.

It is this differential movement of the nu and hand wheel and the weight which causes the latter to assume an operating posltion' with the shoulder on the lever 57, after which the direction of the hand wheel is reversed for the valve-opening movement. The reverse movement moves the pin 41 down and ermits the block 56 to sustain the wei ht.- t the same time the weight 43 on the ockin lever causes the block 42 to engage the lfiock 44 that is rigidly secured to the hub-like projection on the valve frame 30,; This results in locking the ,nut 34 against the longitudinal movement. Continued rotation in the same direction will now cause the valve stem to move upward in the nut and the pilot valve to full open and thereafter the main valve. The atter may be opened partially or wholly. Under normal conditions the valve will be slowly opened sons to throttle the steam or other motive fluid at starting, andwill be fully opened after normal speed of the apparatus is attained. The valve can be opened or closed by the hand wheel, or closed by releasing. the weight sustaining leversby the rod 67 or b the centrifugal governor on the turbine. hen the valve is tripgJed manually by the rod 67 it be reset efore resett or restoring the weight and opening the va ve.

I have shown a weight asthe referred form of motor for actuating the va ve since it is reliable and effective at all times in its operation, but I ma use some other form of motor when desire and reset the same by suitable differential acting means. In a large valve of this character the we ht is too heavy to be lifted directly by ban (in the valve illustrated it weighs about 400 1pounds) hence the importance of a power mu tlplying device for resetting is apparent. In accordance with the provisions of the patent statutes, I have described the principle of operation of my invehtlon, together with the ap aratus which I now considerto represent tie best embodiment thereof;

but I desire to haveit understood that the apparatus shown is only illustrative, and that the invention can be carried out by other means. 7
